The Registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to Section 8(a), may determine.
No filing fee is required under the Securities Act of 1933 because an indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest in the Registrant has previously been registered pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Explanatory Note: The sole purpose of this filing is to delay the effectiveness of the Registrant’s Registration Statement filed on May 30, 2025, on Form N-14 under the Securities Act of 1933. Parts A, B and C of that Registration Statement are incorporated by reference herein.
